Mars Square Pluto tomorrow

Mars is coming into a square with Pluto tomorrow and we may already feel the tension, stress and pressure created by these two energies. Anger, fear, frustration and impatience may rise as these two energies connect throughout the week. Keep your emotions in check.

Mars asks us to focus on what we want and take action toward it but in Taurus things slow down and we have to take our time to get to the goal. The square to Pluto can seem as if something is out of our control, as if some force is keeping us from what we want and desire., as if we have no power over change. That is not so, the Universe is always working with you, not against you. There may be doors that close so that new ones open. Notice how these energies are showing up for you.

Pluto is about power, control, death and rebirth. Something is changing and transforming beyond our control. We may feel powerless against change. Something is dying so that something new can be birthed. Heated, intense pressure makes beautiful diamonds. Use these energies wisely.

Mars in Taurus asks us to slow down, walk deliberately as we feel our way through the dark. Mars in Taurus asks us to take the path of peace. The square this week is empowering us to make the necessary changes in our lives. Remember, true power is found within, not without.
